This report and the exhibit attached hereto contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934). Such statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual events and results to differ materially from such statements. Further, forward looking statements are intended to speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we disclaim any duty to update such statements to reflect any changes in management’s expectations or any change in the assumptions or circumstances on which such statements are based, whether due to new information, future events, or otherwise. Forward-looking statements are statements that include projections, expectations, or beliefs about future events or results or otherwise are not statements of historical fact. Such statements are often but not always characterized by qualifying words such as “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” and their derivatives, and include but are not limited to statements about expectations, projections, or trends for our future operations, strategic initiatives and plans, production levels, new product launches, sales, profit margins, profitability, operating (loss) income, capital expenditures, working capital levels, cost savings, income taxes, SG&A or other expenses, pre-tax (loss) income, earnings, cash flow, and other performance or liquidity measures, as well as any statements regarding dividends, share repurchases, liquidity, uses of cash and cash requirements, borrowing capacity, investments, potential acquisitions, future economic or industry trends, public health epidemics, or future developments. There can be no assurance that we will realize these expectations or meet our guidance, or that these beliefs will prove correct.

Factors that could influence the matters discussed in such statements include the level of housing starts and sales of existing homes, consumer confidence, trends in disposable income, and general economic conditions. Decreases in these economic indicators could have a negative effect on our business and prospects. Likewise, increases in interest rates, particularly home mortgage rates, and increases in consumer debt or the general rate of inflation, could affect us adversely. The future performance of our business depends in part on our success in conducting and finalizing acquisition negotiations and integrating acquired businesses into our existing operations. Changes in consumer tastes or preferences toward products not produced by us could erode demand for our products. Changes in tariffs or trade policy, including changes in U.S. trade enforcement priorities, or changes in the value of the U.S. dollar versus other currencies, could affect our financial results because a significant portion of our operations are located outside the United States. Strengthening of the U.S. dollar against other currencies could make our products less competitive on the basis of price in markets outside the United States, and strengthening of currencies in Canada and China can have a negative impact on our sales of products produced in those places. In addition, because our foreign operations use the U.S. dollar as their functional currency, changes in the exchange rate between the local currency of those operations and the U.S dollar can affect our reported profits from those foreign operations. Also, economic or political instability in international areas could affect our operations or sources of goods in those areas, as well as demand for our products in international markets. The impact of public health epidemics on employees, customers, suppliers, and the global economy, such as the global coronavirus pandemic that has affected countries around the world, could also adversely affect our operations and financial performance. In addition, the impact of potential asset impairments, including impairments of property, plant, and equipment, inventory, or intangible assets, as well as the impact of valuation allowances applied against our net deferred income tax assets, could affect our financial results. Increases in freight costs, labor costs, and raw material prices, including increases in market prices for petrochemical products, can also significantly affect the prices we pay for shipping, labor, and raw materials, respectively, and in turn, increase our operating costs and decrease our profitability. Finally, our success in diversifying our supply chain with reliable partners to effectively service our global platform could affect our operations and adversely affect our financial results. Further information about these factors, as well as other factors that could affect our future operations or financial results and the matters discussed in forward-looking statements, is included in Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our most recent Form 10-K and Form 10-Q reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. A forward-looking statement is neither a prediction nor a guarantee of future events or circumstances, and those future events or circumstances may not occur. Additional risks and uncertainties that we do not presently know about or that we currently consider to be immaterial may also affect our business operations and financial results.

Item 2.02 – Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On March 6, 2024, we issued a news release to announce our financial results for our third quarter ended January 28, 2024. A copy of the news release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

The information set forth in this Item 2.02 of this Current Report, and in Exhibit 99.1, is intended to be “furnished” under Item 2.02 of Form 8-K. Such information shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

The news release contains adjusted income statement information for the three and nine-month periods ending January 28, 2024, and January 29, 2023, respectively, which disclose adjusted loss from operations, a non-U.S. GAAP performance measure that eliminates items which are not expected to occur on a recurring or regular basis. For the three and nine-month periods ending January 28, 2024, these items include, as applicable for the period presented, restructuring-related credits, restructuring-related charges, and restructuring expense associated with the discontinued production of cut and sewn upholstery kits in Ouanaminthe, Haiti. For the three and nine- month periods ending January 29, 2023, these items include restructuring expense associated with the consolidation of certain leased facilities located in Ouanaminthe, Haiti, during the third quarter of fiscal 2023, as well as restructuring expense and restructuring-related charges associated with the exit of the company's cut and sew upholstery fabrics operation located in Shanghai, China, during the second quarter of fiscal 2023. The company has included this adjusted information in order to show operational performance excluding the effects of items not expected to occur on a recurring or regular basis. Details of these calculations and a reconciliation to information from our U.S. GAAP financial statements are set forth in the news release. Management believes this presentation aids in the comparison of financial results among comparable financial periods. Management uses adjusted income statement information in evaluating the financial performance of our overall operations and business segments. Also, adjusted income statement information is used as a performance measure in our incentive-based executive compensation program. We note, however, that this adjusted income statement information should not be viewed in isolation or as a substitute for loss from operations calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The news release contains disclosures about free cash flow, a non-U.S. GAAP liquidity measure that we define as net cash (used in) provided by operating activities, less cash capital expenditures and payments on vendor-financed capital expenditures, plus any proceeds from sale of property, plant, and equipment, plus proceeds from note receivable, plus proceeds from the sale of investments associated with our rabbi trust, less the purchase of investments associated with our rabbi trust, and plus or minus the effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents, in each case to the extent any such amount is incurred during the period presented. Details of these calculations and a reconciliation to information from our U.S. GAAP financial statements are set forth in the news release. Management believes the disclosure of free cash flow provides useful information to investors because it measures our available cash flow for potential debt repayment, stock repurchases, dividends, additions to cash and investments, or other corporate purposes. We note, however, that not all of the company’s free cash flow is available for discretionary spending, as we may have mandatory debt payments and other cash requirements that must be deducted from our cash available for future use. In operating our business, management uses free cash flow to make decisions about what commitments of cash to make for operations, such as capital expenditures (and possible financing arrangements for these expenditures), purchases of inventory or supplies, SG&A expenditure levels, compensation, and other commitments of cash, while still allowing for adequate cash to meet known future commitments for cash, such as debt repayment, and also for making decisions about dividend payments and share repurchases.

The news release contains disclosures about our Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-U.S. GAAP performance measure that reflects net (loss) income excluding income tax expense (benefit), net interest income, and restructuring expense or credit and restructuring related charges or credits, as well as depreciation and amortization expense, and stock-based compensation expense. This measure also excludes other non-recurring charges and credits associated with our business, if and to the extent any such amount is incurred during the period presented. Details of these calculations and a reconciliation to information from our U.S. GAAP financial statements are set forth in the news release. We believe presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because earnings before interest income and expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and similar performance measures that exclude certain charges from earnings, are often used by investors and financial analysts in evaluating and comparing companies in our industry. We note, however, that such measures are not defined uniformly by various companies, with differing expenses being excluded from net income to calculate these performance measures. For this reason, Adjusted EBITDA should not be viewed in isolation by investors and should not be used as a substitute for net income (loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP, nor should it be used for direct comparisons with similarly titled performance measures reported by other

3

---

 

companies. Use of Adjusted EBITDA as an analytical tool has limitations in that this measure does not reflect all expenses that are necessary to fund and operate our business, including funds required to pay taxes, service our debt, and fund capital expenditures, among others. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to help it analyze the company’s earnings and operating performance, by excluding the effects of expenses that depend upon capital structure and debt level, tax provisions, and non-cash items such as depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation expense that do not require immediate uses of cash.

The news release contains disclosures about return on capital for both the entire company and for individual business segments. We define return on capital as adjusted operating income (loss) (measured on a trailing twelve-month basis) divided by average capital employed (excluding intangible assets related to acquisitions at the divisional level only). Adjusted operating income (loss) excludes certain charges or credits that are not expected to occur on a recurring or regular basis, if applicable for the period presented. Average capital employed is calculated over rolling five fiscal periods, depending on which quarter is being presented. Details of these calculations and a reconciliation to information from our U.S. GAAP financial statements are set forth in the news release. We believe return on capital is an accepted measure of earnings efficiency in relation to capital employed, but it is a non-U.S. GAAP performance measure that is not defined or calculated in the same manner by all companies. This measure should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income (loss) or other performance measures, but we believe it provides useful information to investors by comparing the adjusted operating income (loss) we produce to the net asset base used to generate that income (loss). Also, adjusted operating income (loss) on a trailing twelve-months basis does not necessarily indicate results that would be expected for the full fiscal year or for the following twelve months. We note that, particularly for return on capital measured at the segment level, not all assets and expenses are allocated to our operating segments, and there are assets and expenses at the corporate (unallocated) level that may provide support to a segment’s operations and yet are not included in the assets and expenses used to calculate that segment’s return on capital. Thus, the average return on capital for the company’s segments will generally be different from the company’s overall return on capital. Management uses return on capital to evaluate the company’s earnings efficiency and the relative performance of its segments.

CULP ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR THIRD QUARTER FISCAL 2024,

WITH CONTINUED SEQUENTIAL AND YEAR-OVER-YEAR OPERATING IMPROVEMENT

 

 

HIGH POINT, N.C. (March 6, 2024) ─ Culp, Inc. (NYSE: CULP) (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “CULP”) today reported financial and operating results for the third quarter ended January 28, 2024.

 

Fiscal 2024 Third Quarter Financial Summary

 

 

CEO Commentary

 

Commenting on the results, Iv Culp, president and chief executive officer of Culp, Inc., said, “We are pleased to report continued year-over-year and sequential improvement in our consolidated sales and operating performance for the third quarter. Both of our core business segments reported increased revenue year-over-year, which is impressive considering the challenging demand environment in the bedding and furniture industries. Additionally, our consolidated operating performance for the quarter was better than our revised outlook announced on January 17, 2024, due to stronger improvement in our upholstery fabrics segment.

 

"Culp upholstery fabrics achieved a year-over-year increase in residential sales for the first quarterly period since the end of last fiscal year, driven by both the timing of the Chinese New Year holiday and some improvement during the quarter in customer demand for residential fabric products. While this increase in residential sales was offset somewhat by lower sales in our hospitality/contract business due partly to weather-related events in January and short-term supply chain issues that affected Read Window, overall demand remains solid for our hospitality/contract business. Also, our upholstery fabrics segment once again saw a significant improvement in operating performance, driven primarily by higher sales, a more profitable mix of sales, and fixed cost savings.

 

"In our mattress fabrics segment, we continued our significant year-over-year improvement in sales and operating performance, driven largely by a focus on new fabric and cover placements that are priced with proper margins and in line with current raw material costs. However, the sequential results

---

for this segment, as compared to the second quarter, reflect ongoing market weakness in the bedding industry, as well as internal efficiency issues primarily related to the start-up and production of certain new products and costs for these program launches that occurred during the quarter.

 

“We maintained our solid balance sheet during the quarter, with a continued focus on prudent financial management, while allowing for critical capital expenditures and ensuring a strategic level of working capital to support the needs of our businesses. We ended the quarter with $12.6 million in cash, no outstanding borrowings, and $26.2 million in borrowing availability under our domestic credit facility.

 

“As we enter the fourth quarter, we continue to implement improvement initiatives within our mattress fabrics segment to support future profitable sales growth and enhance operating efficiencies. We are diligently focused on winning new placements to drive revenue and increase margins, and we are optimistic about mid-to-long term growth potential for this business. However, while we knew the timing of Chinese New Year would be an impact on quarterly revenue, the industry demand backdrop in both of our businesses has deteriorated further than expected during the first few weeks of the fourth quarter, especially in our upholstery fabrics segment.

 

"We remain confident in our market position in both of our businesses, but to maintain our sequential progress, we need some macro-industry and end-consumer support. Also, the internal inefficiencies relating to the start up and production of certain new products in mattress fabrics during the third quarter will also affect operating performance during the fourth quarter. As a result of these challenges, we now expect that our return to consolidated operating profitability will be delayed into fiscal 2025.

 

"In the face of various ongoing macro-economic headwinds, our attention is on managing the aspects of our business we can control. With the uncertainty of consumer demand in the near term, we are also evaluating strategic actions to adjust and right-size our global platform to align with current demand levels, while still supporting our valued customers. Importantly, we remain well positioned for the long term with our solidly performing upholstery fabrics business and a recovering mattress fabrics business. We are committed to taking steps to position our business for renewed profitability in fiscal 2025, and we are confident in our ability to leverage our competitive advantages, including our innovative product offerings, creative designs, global manufacturing and sourcing platform, and solid financial management, to support our future growth, especially when market conditions improve," added Culp.

Notes

 

(1) See last page of this presentation for calculation.

 

(2) Return on average capital employed represents the twelve months operating (loss) income as of January 28, 2024, divided by average capital employed. Average capital employed does not include cash and cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments – Rabbi Trust, income taxes receivable and payable, accrued restructuring, noncurrent deferred income tax assets and liabilities, and current and non-current deferred compensation.

 

(3) Average capital employed was computed using the five quarterly periods ending January 28, 2024, October 29, 2023, July 30, 2023, April 30, 2023, and January 29, 2023.

 

(4) Intangible assets are included in unallocated corporate for all periods presented and therefore, have no effect on capital employed and return on capital employed for our mattress fabrics and upholstery fabrics segments.
